    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    It's what referred to as a "non-paternal event", or "NPE". A child somehow ends up with the last name of a man who is not the biological father. It could be for any number of reasons, adoption, unwed mother, adultery, rape, incest, niece/nephew taken in, hiding from the IRS...lots of reasons...

    Every Time I Toss the Bacon Grease I Feel Guilty

    Bread bags are also good for getting your boots on if they're a little tight. Put your foot in the bag, then slide your foot into your boot. It'll slide down nice and easy. Then pull the bag off your foot and out the boot. One time use, but effective.

    What's For Breakfast...

    Scrambled eggs, hickory smoked bacon and grits at the ranch! The overnight temperatures finally plunged down in the 60s. A few more weeks and it'll be felt hat season!

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    And now Fisher's mother, Debbie Reynolds, has died, one day after her daughter. Rough on that family.

    Season's Greetings From The Boys From Marketing!

    I'll take your crawfishing to mean you have nothing.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Carrie Fisher, of Star Wars fame and daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, dead at 60. It's been a rough year alright.

    Season's Greetings From The Boys From Marketing!

    I'm curious as to who here has suggested that people who say "Christmas" are extreme, anti-Semitic, racist theocrats.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I wish billboards would be banned here...they are EVERYWHERE. Everything from any sort of political posturing imaginable to rooting for the local sports team to advertisements from the Boys to the local government warning you not to hire a prostitute.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I feel the same about abbreviating state names. The abbreviation for Florida is "Fla.", not "FL", despite the post office's insistence.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Wow, that's far less than I would have thought based on people I know.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My '77 International got about 8 mpg. But it would drag a Ford Galaxie out of snowbank...sideways.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm not sure I'd say automatic is the norm here, I'd guess it's about 50/50. But that's just a WAG, I don't really have any data to back that up. You need a specific motorcycle license here in Texas too. Not sure if that's true for other states.

    Humorously or fascinatingly bizarre things that have happened to you in your life

    Not sure if I've ever told this story here, but I once had a strange ongoing incident for a number of years. This was about 20-25 years ago, and I was young and single, but one day I came home and there was a message on my answering machine (for you youngsters, that was before the days of cell...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I don't think there are any three speed transmission still made for passenger cars, are there? The linkage for a steering column mounted three speed is complicated enough, it would be a nightmare for a five or six speed.

    Humorously or fascinatingly bizarre things that have happened to you in your life

    That would be awfully tempting. Of course, you'd never be able to tell anyone, and that's half the fun. That, and moon rocks have no magical powers.

    The old phrase: "Give your little finger to other people and they take the whole hand."

    I was once asked to write about baseball for the online version of a local sports publication. For free, of course. I thought, what the heck, I happily give my opinion all the time on various websites, at least I can opine without having people respond with what a lousy, no-good dumbo nothing...

    What are you snacking on?

    Those caneles look incredible. Am I to assume that they are essentially bite sized?

    Humorously or fascinatingly bizarre things that have happened to you in your life

    There are numerous lunar samples that are currently "unaccounted for". Most were "gift rocks", given to various governments following the Apollo missions. Many were stolen from their respective governments, sometimes appearing on the black market for millions of dollars. A handful of samples...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Margaret Whitton, perhaps best known as "Rachel Phelps", the scheming, spiteful socialite owner of the Cleveland Indians in Major League, died Sunday at the age of 67. Cancer.

    Christmas Toy Recommendations Of 1939

    I had a lot of those same toys from the 1939 list in the late 60s/early 70s. I had the wooden xylophone, the peg board and hammer, a few small tools in a tool box, Lincoln logs, and of course, the good old Tonka toys. I was never into trains, despite my grandfather being a train engineer, and...
